| Additional information |
Japan's five World Expositions since 1970 have each generated a predictable wave of commemorative coinage, but the Osaka 2025 issue arrives amid the most complicated logistical story of any modern Japanese expo — the site on Yumeshima Island required the construction of an entirely new metro line extension, the first addition to the Osaka Municipal Subway network in over a decade.
Struck to one-troy-ounce .999 fineness, this piece falls within Japan Mint's premium commemorative program, which has issued silver at this specification since the early 2000s rather than the .925 standard used for earlier series.
